Aphelion™ Version 3.2f

Caen, France, October 30th, 2002 - ADCIS S.A. and Amerinex Applied Imaging, Inc., announce the availability of version 3.2 of the Aphelion imaging
software system, including two new optional modules for 3D Image Processing and 3D Image Display.

Most of Aphelion's 2D image processing operators are supported in the 3D environment and are now available to
everyone needing to process volumetric data. Also available in Aphelion's 3D environment are transforms such as
convolution, addition, subtraction, maximum, erosion, dilation, distance function, labeling, watershed, and threshold.
Analysis of 3D images is supported by 3D measurements and 3D ObjectSet.

To display 3D images in user applications, Aphelion 3.2 provides an Image Display module available as an
ActiveX component with the following capabilities:

Display of a 3D object as a set of slices, a composite object or an isosurface

Control of the light and location of the camera

Control of the display context (intensity, zoom, etc.)

Cross sections in X, Y and Z directions

Control of the LUT and the light intensity

Mouse or keyboard control of the 6 degrees of freedom

With these two powerful modules for 3D image processing and 3D display, images acquired from a sensor device,
such as a transmission electronic microscope, a confocal microscope, a medical scanner, or any 3D device, can now
be easily processed, analyzed, and displayed using the Aphelion Graphical User Interface.

Aphelion's extensive image display capabilities have been enhanced by adding 3D display to its Image Viewer component.

Aphelion 3.2's new 3D capabilities maintain the general "look and feel" of Aphelion's popular GUI. Users with 3D
research projects or who are developing applications with 3D imaging content will find the 3D tools available in
Aphelion 3.2 indispensable to timely, effective completion of their work.
